TypeError: 'datetime.datetime' 对象的描述符 'date' 不适用于 'datetime.date' object

Question

So I am trying to convert a YYYY-MM-DD string into a English format as: WEEKDAY DDth MONTH YEAR However I am having issue converting the string into a date format which I believe is YYYY, MM, DD .

Here is my code:

from datetime import datetime, date
[...]
def getHumanDate(rawdate):
    the_date = date(int(rawdate[0:4]), int(rawdate[6:7]), int(rawdate[9:10]))

    weekday = (datetime.date(the_date).strftime('%A'))
    month = (datetime.date(the_date).strftime('%B'))

    year = int(rawdate[0:4])
    day = int(rawdate[9:10])

    english = weekday + " " + day + "th of " + month + " " + year
    return english

I am getting a TypeError: descriptor 'date' for 'datetime.datetime' objects doesn't apply to a 'datetime.date' object error which I frankly can't wrap my head around.

Any help would be appreciated! Cheers

Edit: Here is a working example using the Calendar library, although completely different, it works!

import calendar
[...]
def getHumanDate(rawdate):
    int_year = int(rawdate[0:4])
    int_month = int(rawdate[6:7])
    int_day = int(rawdate[9:10])

    week_days=["Monday","Tuesday","Wednesday","Thursday","Friday","Saturday","Sunday"]
    months=["", "January","February","March","April","May","June","July", "August","September","October","November","December"]

    weekday = calendar.weekday(int_year, int_month, int_day)

        
    english = week_days[weekday] + " " + str(int_day) + "th of " + months[int_month] + " " + str(int_year)
    return English

If you use the strptime function from datetime you get the added advantage of implicit validation of the parameter being pass to your function. Therefore, I suggest this:

from datetime import datetime

dsuffix = [None, 'st', 'nd', 'rd', 'th', 'th', 'th', 'th', 'th', 'th', 'th', 'th', 'th', 'th', 'th', 'th', 'th', 'th', 'th', 'th', 'th', 'st', 'nd', 'rd', 'th', 'th', 'th', 'th', 'th', 'th', 'th', 'st']
def getHumanDate(date): # parameter is expect in ISO format YYYY-MM-DD
    d = datetime.strptime(date, '%Y-%m-%d')
    a = datetime.strftime(d, '%A')
    b = datetime.strftime(d, '%B %Y')
    return f'{a} {d.day}{dsuffix[d.day]} {b}'

for i in range(1, 32):
    d = f'2021-12-{i}'
    print(getHumanDate(d))
